David Taylor Poems

Surrounded on every side by nature's infinite forms,
each leaf sways in the wind and speaks of its seed.
Underfoot in a thin layer of fertility, insects busy in darkness
and as we shake off thin veils of the dross of ages past;
...

I found a seed and watered it with love
then planted in the soil of language
and warmed by that one shining light above,
being spoke, became, exists,
...

The book appeared to arrive, the ink is invisible.
The pages dissolved in your centre.
And when you find it you know
That it was you that wrote it
...

What happens when we sleep
and we're not dreaming?
We escape from this mortal body
and leap into bliss;
...

Shel Silverstein delights us all
with unexpected clever rhyme
that builds the small up tall,
gives us such a comic time.
...

The birds did not sing this morning
as a purple sun rose in the sky
no wing beat silently on perfumed air
as dark clouds gently drifted by
...

Don't you enjoy like me,
walking on a blustery day?
Wind whipping through your hair
leaning against an air brick wall,
...

Eccentric Concentricity
Double Centred
Multiplicity
Possibly Probabilities

'I am not getting enough out of life' I said.
'What does God get out of life? ' He asked.
'Well everything I guess.'
'No God doesn't get anything out of life' he said.
...

Flowers fold petals
Curtains close
Eye lids grow
heavy
